CAMPBELL STEPS DOWN

Alistair Campbell stepped down from his position as Zimbabwe chairman of selectors with immediate effect on Tuesday.

Since his appointment to the post in July 2009, Campbell has had the dual responsibilities of both convener of selectors and chairman of the ZC board's cricket committee.

He expressed the desire to concentrate on his activities with the cricket committee as well as his work as a cricket commentator.

"It has been the greatest of pleasures to select the sides that have spearheaded Zimbabwe's return to Test cricket and I feel now that it would be best to concentrate my expertise on governing the structure of the game as part of the cricket committee. I have every confidence in the panel," said Campbell.

"I leave behind and look forward to watching teams that are a true representation of the vast amount of talent and experience we have in this country."

Campbell will be replaced by former wicketkeeper-batsman Wayne James.

James played four Tests and eleven ODIs for Zimbabwe and will join Kevin Curran and Givemore Makoni on the selection panel.
